Low-Power Electronics Engineer - Energy-Efficient Motor Control
Location: Reading (Office-Based)
Salary: Up to £100,000 + Benefits
Are you a skilled Electronics Engineer with a passion for low-power design and energy-efficient systems? Our client, an innovative and fast-growing engineering company based in Reading, is looking for an engineer to contribute to the early-stage development of a new generation of high-efficiency, low-power motor control solutions.
The Opportunity
This is a rare chance to join at the ground level of a forward-looking programme focused on minimising power consumption while maximising performance. You'll play a key role in shaping system architecture, influencing how energy is managed, converted, and optimised across the product lifecycle.
Working in a collaborative R&D environment, you'll help develop next-generation low-power electronic systems for torque-controlled applications where efficiency, thermal performance, and intelligent power management are critical.
Key Responsibilities
Design and develop low-power electronic systems and components for torque-controlled applications
Optimise power conversion efficiency across inverters, converters, and motor drive systems
Implement energy-saving techniques, including advanced switching strategies and power management methods
Work across the full product lifecycle, from concept through validation and production
Collaborate with cross-functional teams including mechanical, control systems, and embedded software engineers
Perform simulation, testing, and analysis with a focus on efficiency, thermal performance, and power loss reduction
Support prototyping of energy-efficient, compact designs suitable for real-world deploymentRequirements
Degree in Electrical/Electronic Engineering or a related discipline
Proven experience in low-power or high-efficiency electronics design (e.g., converters, motor drives, power management systems)
Strong understanding of power loss mechanisms, efficiency optimisation, and thermal considerations
Experience with simulation tools (e.g., MATLAB/Simulink, PLECS, LTspice)
Familiarity with control algorithms focused on energy efficiency is desirable
Understanding of embedded systems and power management techniques is a plus
Ability to work in a fast-paced, evolving R&D environmentWhat's on Offer
Competitive salary up to £100,000
Office-based working environment in Reading
Generous benefits package (including pension, bonus, and more)
Opportunity to shape energy-efficient technologies from the earliest stages
Clear career progression within a growing organisationIf you're driven by efficiency, sustainability, and smarter energy use in electronics, this role offers the chance to make a meaningful impact on next-generation technology
